Well done. I hope all the tips are helpful.

It’s been a gradual thing mate since I started the taxis. You’ll know what I mean, it’s so easy to buy food on the go, and most of the time it’s not going to be the healthy option. I’ve started taking food with me that’s healthy and not eating a big meal before going to bed after a night shift.
How's everyone getting on? I'm down to 13 '2 which is above where I want to be and a slow rate of weight loss, but there's a downwards trend which is good.
This thread is quite interesting.
I was never that fussed about my weight but I know I need to do something now.
Back in December I was just under 14 stone. Then, due to having loads of booze filled nights out and loads of meals I weighed myself in January and found out I was 14 stone 9!
My aim is simple, to get back under 14 stone and then once I’m there to try and lose more.
I don’t exercise enough. I love to walk but I started a job in December where it’s a ten minute walk from my kids school, before this I was at the Gyle and I’d walk to work from Tollcross sometimes.
I also blame Krispy Kreme for my current wasteline! Back when they opened a shop at the Gyle it seemed to kick start a demand in nearby offices for cakes, donuts and sweets. Since then I’ve got a sweet tooth that I’ve never had before.
A problem for me is I know I’m capable of losing a bit of weight so I’ll lose a few pounds then I’ll go back to some biscuits and crisps with the knowledge if I put it on I’ll lose it again. I know, stupid but it makes sense to me!
Last week I lost four ponds but I reckon I’ve put that on over the weekend. So I’m going to try and eat fruit and walk at least 14,000 steps a day.
Walking football sounds great. Is there any groups that meet up at t weekend or at night during the week? And does it matter if you’re absolutely ***** at football?!
Good luck folks!
Try contacting this group for walking football mate, hope link works 👍

Been at it a few weeks now and couldn't help but weigh myself. 0.8 of a stone lost so far.
Not only do I feel fitter and can breathe easier , I can also notice a small difference.
This has just motivated me further .
Looking to lose at least another stone and a half.
I think the ideal weight for my height is 78kg .
I'm currently at 90kg.
Just to add that I have cut out Bacon rolls for breakfast , subways for lunch and cheese on toast for supper.
Now have weetabix , tuna and sweet corn sandwich and normal toast with a normal dinner.
I have started doing HIIT and it's very beneficial without a lot of time spent exercising. Plenty of routines on you tube.
First time this year I’m under 14 stone. Delighted! One thing I’ve done is cut down coffee. I’m on three a day max, whereas before I’d be having three an hour!
I wasn’t sleeping that well and put it down to that. Also think if you’re not sleeping well it may affect your weight.
Also eating a lot f mandarins but hate the ones with pips.
Anyway, I’m away to celebrate. What time does the chippy open at?
I weighed myself this time last week, and I was 13st 12lbs. Heaviest I've ever been.
This was before going down to a festival in Leeds, where I knew I'd be having a few beers and I was conscious my weight was heading in the one direction...
This week, I've had a few meals that have been just vegetarian - my veg and fruit intake has gone up, and I don't feel I've been wanting garbage. I also cut out beer midweek entirely, and we've not had any takeaway or eaten out at any restaurants. I've also been moving a lot more - forcing myself to get out of my office at lunch, and walk slightly further to get coffee etc.
As a result, weighing myself today, I'm 8lb lighter than this time last week!
I’m not calorie counting (have done in the past) and I think I’m eating less and healthier compared previous diets (where I’ve not exercised a lot) and I’m going to the gym 4-6 times a week yet I’m now the heaviest I’ve ever been.
I've had a sickness bug for 3 days and lost almost half a stone. I'd recommend it.
I lost two and a half stone last year in about 2 months and have kept it off, was really easy, I just cut out eating nonsense and drinking fizzy juice, main part was doing my food shop first thing on a Saturday morning and buying a weeks worth of food, that way it took away my choice of ah I've nothing in so will get a takeaway, I behave myself mon-fri and don't eat anything crazy but the weekends are fair game to do what I like
Im stuck, havent lost any weight for ages but havent gained either. May was a heavy month socially which all involved food and cocktails so im lucky not to have gained. Diarys clear for June so no excuses. Ankle injury from Jan still driving me nuts but shouldn't stop me moving.
